"Oh, that's it!" Wang Qinian was overjoyed. "Your Highness really loves me, and he always gives me double the money, hehehehe!"

How could Wang Qinian not be happy?

Since following Li Chengyuan, his private money has skyrocketed to a number he had never dared to imagine before.

In fact, even if Lao Wang saved some private money, he couldn't spend it.

Although he has some fancy ideas, he never takes action.

He simply loves money.

I saved my own private money and dared not spend a penny, but just looking at it made me feel extremely comfortable, as if I had confidence and support.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Li Chengyuan said, "I need to pick up a key tomorrow. Find me a reliable locksmith. Remember, he needs to have good skills and can copy the key quickly.

Then you take her to wait for me outside the palace wall. I need to make a replica of the key and send it back, understand?"

"Understood!" Wang Qinian said seriously, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I know a reliable locksmith who will get the job done!"

"Well! Come on, keep drinking!"

"Hey hey hey, okay!"

Chapter 141 Li Chengyuan took the initiative to confront Wan'er!

Late at night, Fan Mansion, pavilion.

Fan Jian sat in the pavilion reading by lamplight.

At a certain moment, Fan Xian came alone.

"Dad, are you looking for me?"

"Are you back? Come and sit down!" Fan Jian put down the book and smiled.

Fan Xian sat down opposite Fan Jian in an orderly manner.

"The negotiations at the Honglu Temple have come to an end. You must be cautious when you go to the palace tomorrow!" Fan Jian's voice was very magnetic, and his words were calm.

Fan Xian poured himself a cup of tea and drank it while saying, "You mean the banquet tonight? Is there anything wrong with this meal?"

Fan Jian also took a sip of tea and slowly explained, "Everyone knows that the great masters of literature are all from the Northern Qi Dynasty.

In the early years, scholars even took pride in passing the Northern Qi imperial examination.

Although it has improved in recent years, overall, it is still slightly inferior to the Northern Qi Dynasty.

And now, the literary world of Qing Kingdom has placed all its hopes on you and the Third Prince?"

"Puff!" Fan Xian spat out a mouthful of tea and said in confusion, "Me? What do I have to do here?"

Fan Jian smiled and said, "Of course it's about you. A few days ago, you and the Third Prince had a poetry contest. Your poem "A Thousand Miles of Sad Autumn" was rated as the best seven-character poem of the time by our dynasty's scholars. Many people say that since you're so young and have written such a great poem, you might become the second Third Prince in the future!"

"Don't!" Fan Xian waved his hands hastily, "I can't compare to the Third Prince! The Third Prince can really write poetry, and that's his true '917' talent. I'm just a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"

Fan Jian smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a blind cat or any other kind of cat, as long as it can catch mice, it’s a good cat!

There is no way, our country hopes that the literary fortune will be like a blessing of rain.

Since you have hope, we naturally have high expectations of you!"

Fan Xian was confused and said, "So, you mean, I'm going to have a poetry competition with Zhuang Mohan tomorrow?"

"That won't happen!" Fan Jian said, "The Third Prince will be the main force in tomorrow's paper with Zhuang Mohan. You just need to fill in the gaps and echo his words!"

"Huh!" Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief, "You should have told me earlier! This scared me so much I broke out in a cold sweat!"

Fan Jian shook his head and said, "Don't be careless. Even if the Third Prince is here, you still have to take it seriously.

After all, the envoys from Northern Qi and Dongyi City will be here tomorrow. Even if you don't perform well, you must not embarrass yourself!"

"Don't worry about that!" Fan Xian said, "I can't be the main force, but I can still follow suit!"

Fan Jian smiled again, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked, "By the way, people outside are saying that you are a retainer of the Third Prince?"

"Ah!" Fan Xian nodded and said, "I guess so! The Third Brother treats me very well, and I don't have a bad impression of him, so I'll follow him for the time being!"

"That's great!" Fan Jian's smile deepened this time. "You're right. The Third Prince is a good person. It's a good thing for you to follow him. Dad supports you!"

Fan Xian looked at Fan Jian and suddenly asked doubtfully, "Dad, I've always wanted to ask, does this third brother have any unknown secrets?

Why is he so nice to me.

And you still trust him so much?

You even didn't object to Ruoruo falling in love with him at first sight.

You never treat the Crown Prince and the Second Prince like this!"

Fan Jian smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're overthinking it. It's nothing special. I'm just optimistic about the third child."

After all, he is the future of Qing Nation's literary fortune, and he is both virtuous and talented, so his future is bound to be extraordinary!"

Fan Xian said softly, "But... he's not the crown prince!"

When Fan Jian heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said meaningfully: "He is not now, but he may be in the future!"

Fan Xian: "!!!"

...

After returning from Fan Jian, Fan Xian was full of worries.

Dad said that the third prince might become the crown prince in the future!

Could it be that Dad has already made preparations to support the Third Prince in the future?

If that's the case, then he needs to pay more attention to this matter.

The fight for the throne is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for carelessness.

"elder brother!"

Fan Xian was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Fan Ruoruo's voice.

When Fan Xian looked up, he saw Fan Ruoruo waiting for him in his yard.

"Ruoruo, why are you here?"

"Brother, His Highness has something for me to bring to you!"

"What?"

"His Highness told you to quietly go to the palace and wait for him after the banquet tomorrow night. He and Uncle Wuzhu will steal the key together and open the box together tomorrow night!"

"He's going to open the box?" Fan Xian was suddenly startled and asked hurriedly, "Ruoruo, are you saying that the Third Prince wants to open the box with me?"

"Well, that's what His Highness said!"

Fan Xian frowned, his eyes lost in thought.

This is getting more and more interesting.

The third prince wanted to open the relics left to him by his mother, but he wanted to invite him to join him.

The most outrageous thing is that Uncle Wuzhu agreed to this.

So the third brother must have a relationship with his mother, and a very close relationship!

But Fan Xian couldn't guess what the specific relationship was.

But I guess we’ll know the answer tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Fan Xian immediately began to look forward to it.

"Brother? Are you okay?"

Seeing Fan Xian deep in thought and silent, Fan Ruoruo said with some concern.

"Ah? Nothing!" Fan Xian smiled, then asked, "By the way, Ruoruo, how are you and the third brother doing?"

"What happened?" Fan Ruoruo's face flushed. "It's still the same!"

"You haven't made any progress?"

"Oh, brother!" Fan Ruoruo stamped her feet shyly and said, "I'm a prince, how can I talk about such things so easily?"

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm meddling.

Ruoruo, you also know that the third brother is a prince, so he cannot decide his own marriage.

If you really like him, it's best to let your father propose to you as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the third child is granted a marriage by His Majesty, it will be too late for you to get married!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Ruoruo's pretty face turned pale.

"This...I'm going to find Daddy right now!"

After saying that, Fan Ruoruo ran away holding her skirt.

Seeing this, Fan Xian sighed.

This sister's heart has completely flown away!

.......

The next day, the sky was clear and the air was clear.

Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo came to the palace early in the morning again.

Then, he played games with Hongshu and the other girls for the whole morning, and soaked in the hot springs for two hours in the afternoon. Afterwards, the girls and Li Chengyuan returned to Qingyue Pavilion to eat hot pot.

Until the evening, Lin Wan'er, dressed in bright and noble clothes, took Li Chengyuan's arm, got on Li Chengyuan's carriage, and went to the palace for a banquet together.

In the spacious carriage, Li Chengyuan and Wan'er sat opposite each other.

Today, Wan'er was wearing an apricot-yellow gauze dress, with her long black hair gathered behind her. Her crescent-shaped eyes seemed to be able to speak, her seductive red lips were warm and delicate, and her whole body exuded a refreshing fragrance that made people's souls sway and their hearts numb.

Li Chengyuan and Wan'er were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Wan'er's pretty face was already red. She looked at Li Chengyuan from time to time, and then lowered her head shyly.

Li Chengyuan kept looking at Wan'er with gentle eyes, sighing in his heart.

Wan'er is indeed a fairy-like woman.

Li Chengyuan was not a lovesick man, he was just amorous and lustful person.
